True, very true. That is something I wished they had. Especially the Offline access and the armour slot.
But you can edit a player's inventory while they are online and it is live editing.

Hm it's been a while since I looked into the essentials code. Though this plugin did came long before essentials had a working /invsee, and still has anychest and silentchest being one of its core functionality.

i figured it out, for some reason GM won't actaully give me the permissions when i give myself openinv.*, but when i try to add openinv.openinv as well it says i already have it. what i have to do is give myself the individual openinv.openinv/crossworld/editinv etc., instead of openinv.*. thats not a problem with openinv though, i found i'm getting it with all my plugins. thanks anyway, great plugin i love it

If I put this in my plugins, setting no permissions, will that allow anyone to use it, or only op?

And for a suggestion, just might I suggest, if you were to edit someone else's inv. and drag an item off the gui, it would drop by them!? Not sure if this is the case already, but definetly make a good feature, Espeically for Trollers!! *Hint Hint*

I noticed that /searchinv results only my own inventory, if I have searched items. Verified with /openinv that others had plenty of items I was looking for, but didn't show up. Console didn't show errors.

SearchInv doesn't work on offline players... If they were online then it might be worth investigating.

Hey! There is a bug when you're in /silentchest mode and you place Trapped Chest next to normal Chest it will detect it as Large Chest and share equipment of both chests. I'm using newest CraftBukkit and OpenInv
Glorious plugin, keep it going!
